Actually the call wasn't from Purple...







or Red...







or Green...







it was Blue!



I went to the COB event at Blue and had a great time getting to know the sisters. it was a much more relaxed setting than the parties during formal rush. I left with a great feeling about Blue, and accepted the bid they gave me the following week. I jumped into the pledge class that had been given bids through formal rush and was initiated with them a few weeks later. It was hard though because I felt like since I came in late, I didn't get to establish that bond with my pledge sisters that they had from the beginning. Until this day I'm still not as close with them as I would like, and sometimes I feel like we just have nothing in common. I have become friends with a lot of the older girls, including my Big who I'm very close with. I love Blue as a whole. It is a great sorority with great ritual and traditions, and it is very hard to get a bid from Blue at other schools. There is a long line of famous Blue women, and the house is well known and great nationally.

It is still hard because I feel like I would have been much closer to the pledge class in Pink than I am with mine in Blue. I know that everything happens for a reason though, and I know that Blue will be a great experience if I put effort into it. I plan to move in the house my junior year, and I would love to hold an exec position. I also want to make more of an effort to hang out with my sisters outside of Blue meetings and events.

Im proud to call myself a Blue, but sometimes it is just a little bittersweet!

I would bet that that "bittersweetness" ends up becoming the sweetest thing you've ever tasted.

I received a bid from my second-choice group, after seriously considering suiciding during recruitment (my recruitment story is posted here as well). I took an office in my second semester in-house. Becoming a sister in Alpha Chi Omega became the best decision I made during my freshman year. You may not realize it right now, but give it a semester or two. You'll see it.
